Chungnam Institute for Content Industry (President Kim Gok-mi, hereinafter referred to as the Institute) announced remarkable achievements by supporting three companies in participating in the "2025 XR·Metaverse Fair Tokyo Summer 2025," Asia's largest B2B exhibition held in Tokyo, Japan.

The Institute stated that it participated in the fair, held at Tokyo Big Sight for three days from July 2nd to 4th, along with three promising metaverse companies from Chungnam (Digiforest, Eighttonz, Artmu).

Digiforest, which showcased manufacturing AI and metaverse solutions, recorded export consultations totaling $530,000 with major Japanese companies such as NISSUI, KAK, and OKI, and is continuing follow-up meetings. Eighttonz is pursuing a $300,000 contract with Japanese content companies like COVER and Shueisha, centering on its XR and metaverse solution "Real Rise." Artmu signed two Letters of Intent (LOI) for global collaboration with Largo.ai from Switzerland and Apas Port from Japan, and is continuing follow-up discussions regarding IP-based content production with companies like Atari and Bandai Namco.
